Validation rejections occur when the versions are mismatched between client and server. Delete your steam.inf and steam_appid.txt and run a verify_all to fix.

All file edits for Linux server should be done preferably with a text editor that conserves encoding (protip, notepad converts to DOS encoding which will break things).
